Office Manager

Tricia Osborne

Tricia joined Brand Harbour in 2015, after a successful career in local education services. She is a great administrator and makes sure customers get their orders, brand owners get paid and everything runs as smoothly as possible. Her middle name should be 'Organised' but her parents chose Josephine.

Tricia has very little spare time - she's too busy keeping her family under control.
